Publisher's Summary

This classic story of the injustice and horror of war inspired Breaker Morant, the internationally acclaimed Australian motion picture.

Breaker Morant was executed at Pietersburg on 27 February 1902. His crime? Wilful murder of civilians. Yet to this day his guilt remains in doubt. Kit Denton's novel, The Breaker, does more than recount the facts and mystery surrounding Morant's death sentence. Full of action and set in three continents, it covers the entire range of the Breaker's activities. We see him as a champion horseman, a likeable larrikin, a popular balladist. We see him in love and in war. Then we see him face the firing squad that will end his life. Was he a cold-blooded killer or a scapegoat?

This was a great Book. I had seen the Movie and the Book was even better. I like the fact that it was a true story. I try to listen to nothing but true stories, and this one was truely a great on. I would recommend this Book over and over again.
